The Rain Washes Clean
Through perfumed lush of deep, dark green
Where light dares to enter only in between
Crawls a secret microcosm existing unseen
Life lays low until the rain washes it clean
============================
Idle chatter, gossips patter, lies scream obscene
Cloak and dagger in the closet mimes a routine
The coward in the schoolyard pretense wolverine
And hope lays low until the rain washes it clean
====================================
Toss the dice, have another, lucks a fickle queen
She strips you down and ties you up fast and mean
Sweet, seductive, sexy bitch really loves you lean
And truth lays low until the rain washes it clean
====================================
Walk the talk, swaggered words, vanity you preen
One man's vision fits the look in GQ magazine
A wolf in fine wool cloth designation to demean
And love lays low until the rain washes it clean
====================================
Through busy streets life moves, caution in citrine
Where the light dares to enter only in-between
Stands truth, hope and love waiting to be seen
And peace lays low until the rain washes it clean
=====================================
